Book Review: The Tuscan Child by Rhys Bowen

If you enjoyed reading Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis De Bernieres then The Tuscan Child by Rhys Bowen will appeal to you, I’m sure of this. The story is told from the point of view of Sir Hugo Langley in 1944 when, during the war, his plane crashed in Tuscany, and his bereaved daughter, Joanna, in 1973 and her journey to find out the truth about her father’s Italian recovery/adventure/mystery. I enjoyed the two time settings, one employed first person, the other third person writing. Platefuls of Italian food and culture mentions- you could be there!
